This is a pricing proposal worksheet for a Universal Term Contract (UTC) issued by the City of Columbus, Ohio, for plumbing maintenance services across various city agencies. The contract solicitation, numbered RFQ032709, seeks proposals to provide routine maintenance, repair, and replacement of plumbing systems at city-owned, leased, or funded facilities through September 30, 2029, with an option for one additional year renewal. Work scope includes installing fixtures, installing new pipe, troubleshooting and repairing existing plumbing systems, and work involving piping and fixtures for water, sewer, or natural gas systems. The RFQ closing date is August 13, 2026, with Shirley Lee (SELee@columbus.gov) identified as the buyer. Bidders must demonstrate at least five years of experience providing these services and submit references from a minimum of four customers with similar scope, complexity, and cost requirements. Vendor registration with the City is mandatory prior to bid submission.

The pricing proposal requires bidders to submit firm and fixed rates for all labor and material categories, subject to an escalator clause for the contract term. Labor pricing includes rates for journeyman plumbers and helpers across six categories: regular hours (7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday-Friday), overtime hours (4:01 PM to 6:59 AM, Monday-Friday), Saturday hours, Sunday hours, holiday hours, and emergency hours, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 20 to 500 hours per category. Additionally, bidders must provide a per-call estimating charge and a percentage markup on materials and parts against an estimated annual amount of $60,000. All items must be bid in their entirety, as failure to bid all items will render the proposal nonresponsive. No additional charges beyond the bid rates may be added to invoices.
